DESCRIPTION:Search for New Physics in Dijet Angular Distributions in Proton
-Proton Collisions at 13 TeV\n\nHigh momentum-transfer proton-proton colli
sions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider probe the dynamics of the underlyi
ng interaction at distances down to 10-20 m. These collisions predominantl
y produce events containing two jets with high transverse momenta. Studies
of these events allow us to probe the dynamics of the underlying interact
ions and can be used to test the predictions of perturbative quantum chrom
odynamics and to search for signatures of new physics beyond the standard
model of particle physics. Measurements of dijet angular distributions fro
m proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV using data
collected in 2016 by the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment are presented.
These measurements are used to constrain models containing quark contact i
nteractions\, extra spatial dimensions\, quantum black holes\, and dark ma
tter.\n\n\n\nCommittee Chair: Nikos Varelas\nCommittee Members: &nbsp\;Dav

r Distributions in Proton-Proton Collisions at 13 TeV\n\nHigh momentum-transfer proton-proton collisions at the CERN Large Hadr
on Collider probe the dynamics of the underlying interaction at distances
down to 10-20 m. These collisions predominantly produce events containing
two jets with high transverse momenta. Studies of these events allow us to
probe the dynamics of the underlying interactions and can be used to test
the predictions of perturbative quantum chromodynamics and to search for
signatures of new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. M
easurements of dijet angular distributions from proton-proton collisions a
t a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV using data collected in 2016 by the Co
mpact Muon Solenoid experiment are presented. These measurements are used
to constrain models containing quark contact interactions\, extra spatial
dimensions\, quantum black holes\, and dark matter.\n\n\
